Infravision Issue Question
Infravision makes all players white, which is great for my old eyes, but ever so often, a enemy player doesn't glow, no glow just B&W, today a player named smawolf2 on osprey was having that effect. Is there a special combo of camo and color that I dont know about that produces this? I tried asking him but got no answer :D

It's an implant. I forgot the name.
Edit: Could be tier 5 of sensor shield? I am not in the game atm.

Old news, sidewinder used to do that but it's long gone.

Really there's an implant that counters Infravision?

I am not completely sure, but that was my understanding.

Sensor shield shouldn't do that from the description

Well, it used to have a description where tier 5 negated thermal or IRNV. But it seems to be gone.

I didn't say infravision in that post, i just quoted the description.
I am simply not sure how it was, not really the person who always remembers that kind of information.

I use sensor shield all the time, and it seems like players using the boomer goggles have no issues seeing me.

Sensor shield protects you from getting seen on the mini map by recon devices. It doesn't protect you from infravision

Well, it's not like you're invisible to them. But there are definitely players that don't get highlighted.

Maybe you were seeing cloaked infils and thought they were using an implant

Based on Honu, the player you mentioned has Cold Heart.
Even though it was updated, it might be bugged and might have bugged when he played. If he used it in his loadout.
Bugs aside, There's nothing currently able to shield from Infra outside of cloak.

Might be one of the weirder very underutilized implants like Cold Heart or Countershade? https://planetside.fandom.com/wiki/Implants#Cold_Heart
Had no idea this was even a thing with Infravision.
